What A Pity

Wrote these lyrics on Friday.. Just built up anger at the state of the world and the lack of women's rights, even today. Words by Aarushi. Once again no music yet.

It’s a rusty slum where she sits waiting
A lass of only 16
She’d never had a sip of wine
And she had never been
Away from her way of life
No hopes of escaping

It’s an ordinary day- anticipating
What she’s going to be
She’d forever try
To reach ages she’d never been
Wouldn’t walk away from any guy
Now that’s some kind of raping

No hope for you here, my dear
Love and laughter has disappeared
What a pity
Too bad you’re pretty
No one can help you here
Oh, darling what a beautiful face
Too bad about your fall from grace
What a shame that you’re in pain
What a pity
Too bad you’re pretty

She’s late again
But this time it’s serious
Parents are furious
She doesn’t want to speak too soon
Spending every moment looking over her shoulder
It’s just too bad that nobody told her

<>

She’s falling through
Another hopeless case
No longer pretty face
It doesn’t make sense
He took away her innocence
Gave her something
She never deserved
Now she’ll always have to serve
